Taking care of elderly parents can be emotionally challenging under the best of circumstances. But when those parents had failed to care for their children in early life, that challenge can feel impossible. As part of Tell Me More’s weekly “Moms” segment, host Michel Martin discusses how to care for an abusive or neglectful parent with writer and regular parenting guest Leslie Morgan Steiner; Marion Somers, author of “Elder Care Made Easier”; and Eleanor Cade, author of “Taking Care of Parents Who Didn’t Take Care of You."
